Snackaholics Anonymous

Who else has noticed that we are snacking more than say 20 years ago, 30 years ago?  Well we have, nutritional therapists have noticed a trend of increased snacking.  So as always, to understand what we are dealing with we ask the all important question WHY?  Without asking why you can never really correct an issue, you can cover it up but not correct it.
 
So why are we snacking more?
  • It has become normal
  • Snack advertising have become big business and big bucks
  • We are not eating enough at our meal times
  • What we are eating is not satisfying our bodies needs
 
For anyone trying to loose weight or be healthy, snacking is more often than not that thing that trips them up, sabotages them, sends them into a sugar spiral of self loathing (well feeling unable to succeed at least).
 
What is the one biggest change you can make to help stop your cravings?
  • It’s a 2 part solution but so simple:
    • Eat a decent sized healthy meal 
    • Increase your vegetable intake
 
We might be told over and over by companies that we really want that snack they are selling, everyone is having it, it’s the hot new thing, but to crave it your body is lacking something it needs and sugar is a quick fix for energy.  So by eating proper dinners and getting your nutrients in by eating lots of vegetables you have a fantastic shot at killing off the cravings.  Give it a go, you’ll see I’m not wrong.
